NFL Combine: RB Notes

Jahvid Best of California had a great work out running a 4.35 40 yard dash a 6.75 3-cone drill and showed quickness in the drills and he checkout medical that he is 100 percent which helps his stock out a lot.

Jonathan Dwyer of Georgia Tech showed good speed at running an official time of 4.59 and showed good quickness in the drills, he weight in at 229 and could stand to lose a few more pounds going into his Pro-Day.

Joe McKnight of USC ran a 40 of 4.47, a 10 foot broad jump and had a 36.5 vertical jump and showed a good job catching the football and in the drills. I do expect him to retest at USC Pro Day as many people feel he is faster then 4.47.

Joique Bell of Wayne State ran a disappointing 4.63 40 yard dash, but had a 36.5 vertical jump, a 10 foot broad jump and a 6.84 3-cone drill, and will retest at his Pro-Day and was asked by Dan LeFevour of Central Michigan to come to CMU to catch footballs for Dan.

Ryan Mathews of Fresno State had one of the better overall workouts and has but himself in the 1st round. He did 19 reps of 225, ran a 4.45 40 yard dash and had a 36 inch vertical jump and look very good in the running back drills.

Montario Hardesty of Tennessee surprised some people with his workout starting with the 40 yard dash which he ran 4.49, he had a 41 inch vertical jump, a 10 feet, 4 inch broad jump, a 6.87 3-cone and benched 225, 21 times.

Toby Gerhart, Stanford helped himself with his workout starting with the 40 yard dash which he ran 4.58, he had a 38 inch vertical jump, a 9 feet, 10 inch broad jump, a 6.94 3-cone and benched 225, 22 times.

Ben Tate of Auburn had a great workout and no one was expecting starting with the 40 yard dash which he ran 4.43, he had a 40.5 inch vertical jump, a 10 feet, 4 inch broad jump, a 6.91 3-cone and benched 225, 26 times.

CJ Spiller of Clemson only ran the 40 in which he ran a 4.37 and will save everything else until his Pro Day at Clemson.
